World, meet the Google Glass, the latest innovation from the company that seems to do it all.

The Google Glass was trending high on Twitter Wednesday and countless people competed in an online contest for the right to pay $1,500 (plus tax) to test the new computer-in-an-eyeglass frame device.

The Google Glassis a sleek flexible evolutionary design that you wear like glasses. The device is available in charcoal, tangerine, shale, cotton and sky. On the right side there is a small glass computer that is controlled by voice recognition.

The device allows you to take pictures, record videos, share what you see live, send messages, get directions, answer your questions as well as translates your voice into other languages. All of which are performed hands free.

Google is holding a contest to test the new device and will be accepting applications via Twitter (@projectglass) and Google+ (+ProjectGlass). The contest is available only to those living in the US and you must be at least 18 to apply.

Google wants applicants to tell them what they would do if they had Glass in a maximum of 50 words. Videos and photos are accepted as long as they videos are a maximum 15 seconds and there are no more than five photos. Google will be contacting the winners via social media and they will be looking for the #ifihadglass hash tag. The deadline is Feb.27.

‘Winners’ of the contest will get to pay $1,500 plus tax and attend a special event to pick up the glasses in New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles.

Google isn’t the first to try its hand at computer glasses. Apple is also rumored to have something of this kind up their sleeve.

Steve Mann, a Hamilton native and a professor at the University of Toronto, has been working on an eye-wear computing device since the 1980s according to the Guardian.

Mann’s work at McMaster, MIT and the University of Toronto has been recognized worldwide. His work on the “Eyetap” originally began to find ways to block unwanted messages from media and billboards from entering his consciousness. Mann called himself “the world’s first cyborg,” and now thanks to Google, everyone will have the chance to experience being cyborg- in style of course.

In 2012, Mann, says he was attacked at a McDonald’s in Paris for wearing his EyeTap Digital Eye Glass. Mann was able to capture photos of his alleged attackers from his device.
